MODERATORS
I think we have to separate achievement in this capitalist society from the skills we were told to acquire.
Being a good reader has a million benefits. If let's you think about ideas that you might not encounter in real life. It allows you to live inside someone else's mind. It makes you more empathetic. It makes you capable of thinking more creatively. It makes you consider things that you might not have been able to otherwise. Being a good reader makes you a more well rounded, intelligent and creative person.
Just because it didn't get you a high paying job in this grifters economy doesn't mean it was useless. Keep reading. Keep dreaming of a better world. Keep striving to be a real human in a world full of grifting capitalist drones.
